1993 Ranger not charging

I need some help, my Ranger is not charging. I changed the Alternator and the Battery and still not charging. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.

check your cables, look for loose connections, broken wires, disconnected connections or connections that are half on and not connected

Chances are you lost a ground somewhere, is my guess...

Check the engine block-frame ground cable.

I think you have a Fusible link somewhere in between the Battery and the Alt. too?

You should be able to find it (if its there) when you start checking your cables.

Why not consider running this puppy by your favorite atoparts store, for a no cost, in vehicle, electrical system check up, via their portable electical system tester. It'll likely sniff out the culprit!!!!

Let us know what you find.

Guys,

You guys are the best!!! Checked everything you suggested and found the problem. There is a fuse in the fuse box labeled wrong. That was the bad one. Go figure!! Anyway, you all saved me lots of money and I really thank you for your help. Hope I can help guys if you have any problems with your autos.

Thanks again,
Rudy
